“Something profound happens in a person’s life when their center of gravity, or center of life, is no longer the self but Jesus of Nazareth. … That’s when we become the light of the world. … They changed the world in the first century, and if it can happen to them in the first century, it can happen to us in the 21st century.” - Presiding Bishop Michael Curry
The Most Rev. Michael Bruce Curry, Head of The Episcopal Church (National)
